Self-Retaining T-1 LED Mounting Spacers

A series of self-retaining, T-1 LED mounting spacers
designed to ensure uniform and perpendicular LED positioning while reducing
assembly costs is now available from Keystone Electronics Corp.

These latest additions to the company’s expanding group of
universal, self-aligning LED spacers feature internal retention “teeth” that
secure spacers onto LED leads, prior to assembly on PCBs. The unique design
also eliminates the possibility of LED lead shorting by separating and
retaining component leads while inserting into a PCB. In addition, no special
tools are required to preassemble LEDs to spacers.

The spacers feature 0.02 in. legs incorporated into the
molded Nylon 6/6 structure to serve the dual purpose of heat dissipation and
easy post-solder cleaning. Overall height of the spacers range from 0.12 to
0.925 in.
